Editing Talk:Packard Bell Corporation (section)

==Early history of company==
There seems to be contradicting and/or convoluted information about the early history of the partnerships that Bell was involved in. I also questions some of the sources cited in the article as potentially unreliable, ie. radiomuseum.org which has multiple contributors and the quality varies.

The following details are all from the same news article.<ref>{{cite news |last=Sandifer |first=Robert L |title=Packard-Bell Pioneer in Local TV Industry |work=Los Angeles Times |location=Los Angeles |date=April 8, 1953}}</ref>
* H.A. (Herb) Bell formed a partnership with an electrical engineer named "Neff" (no other name given) in 1926 that lasted two years.
* In 1928 Bell partnered with Edward Jackson to form "Jackson-Bell."
* Bell wanted to "go into" higer priced sets, so Jackson backed out. The partnership lasted two years.
* Bell then hired a radio engineer Richard Leitner. It is not clear what the name was after Jackson's departure.
* Leon Packard, whose uncle provided capital to the venture, joined Bell as a partner in 1933. The section of the news article is titled "New Start."
* Packard left in 1935
* The company was incorporated in 1946

I'll try to find other sources to clarify this history. The pre-1933 history appears to be a series of casual partnerships or solo work by Bell. It doesn't look to me like a single company that changed names. I'm leaving this here as a placeholder.

Reliable sources sometime uses "Packard Bell" or "Packard-Bell." I have also seen "Packard Bell Co." and "Packard-Bell Electronics."

The (1926) in the title is clearly wrong. I propose changing it to Packard-Bell Corporation or Packard-Bell Electronics which are names that were used (inconsistently) before the Teledyne purchase. --[[User:Mu301|mikeu]] <sup>[[User talk:Mu301|talk]]</sup> 21:15, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

:I've cleaned it up the best that I can, for now. The page has been moved to the formal incorporated name. PB Electronics now redirects here. --[[User:Mu301|mikeu]] <sup>[[User talk:Mu301|talk]]</sup> 02:24, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
